New GST rates will prove to be a boon for farmers

Bhopal :6/9/25:  The new GST rates and slabs will have a wide-scale impact on the agriculture sector. This will especially benefit small and medium farmers, due to reduced GST rates on agricultural equipment, the cost of agriculture will decrease and farmers’ profits will increase. This view was expressed by Union Agriculture and Rural Development Minister Shri Shivraj Singh Chouhan in a press conference held in Bhopal today.

Shri Shivraj Singh Chouhan said that GST on bio-pesticides and micro-nutrients has been reduced, which will benefit farmers. Also, the trend of farmers towards bio-fertilizers from chemical fertilizers will definitely increase. In the dairy sector, there will now be no GST on milk and cheese. This will not only benefit the common man, but farmers, cattle breeders and milk producers will also benefit.

Today is the great festival of Anant Chaturdashi and we will bid farewell to Ganpati Bappa. My prayer to him is that happiness, prosperity and prosperity should come in the lives of the people of the country.

Shri Chauhan said that the Central Government has reduced the GST rate on agricultural equipment from 18% to 5%, due to which agricultural equipment and other items will become cheaper.
